    I can’t say I’m all that excited about this game, Starfield kinda killed any interest I had in playing another Bethesda RPG

    It will be riddled with monetisation, with the attendant mission/quest structure to support that goal. Like, it’s an impossibility that it won’t be. Starfield was on the verge of getting some good will back from the player base, but squandered it on that bullshit pay-per-quest DLC they released recently. Bethesda is beyond help at this point.

      Their games are from another time, I feel. They are so focused on how they have always made games and somehow proud of it.

      They were great when they were made all those years ago, the times when games felt clunky. It was the times.

      But Starfield still has that clunk and other games feel way more fluid these days. I don’t feel like I can go back to playing a game that feels like I’m playing a brick.

      No preorders, probably won’t even end up playing it because it will most likely, probably, definately, suck farts.

    Hoy take time i guess…

    I’m hopeful. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted to hell cus how dare I enjoy things, but I’ve had fun with all their games. Even starfield. It was a departure and an attempt at something new. I still put in over a hundred hours on it. The ship builder was awesome and the ships themselves were super cool too.

    Skyrim is still my 3rd most played game. And I’m pretty sure fallout is up there too.

      You’re 100% allowed to just enjoy it and not worry about the drama. That said, we’re looking at the fifteenth year on the horizon with no follow up to Skyrim.

      A “AAA” studio taking fifteen years to make a game is unacceptable. Especially when its a game that guarantees massive sales thanks to the IP’s pedigree.

      Bethesda leadership is incompetent.

        Why is it unacceptable?

        Also plenty of games have taken 10years to make or more. And dev on ES6 wouldn’t have started right as Skyrim was done. At least not on full.

        Why does dev time matter anyway?

          If you’re the Adams brothers making Dwarf Fortress then yeah, I’d agree with you.
